The S7 generation of ASSOS overshoes is built on a newly developed “pattern design chassis” featuring the minimum number of seams necessary, providing a snug, low-volume contouring fit. The rainBootie provides total waterproofing for wet conditions

Assos let in the rain booties
Please please please - save your money and do not buy. They are terrible. In fact, they complete let Assos down. They let in water and the black upvc starts to crack after a few rides. I have always hand washed and used baby wipes, but they let in water. A complete and utter waste of money. In fact, you might as well put a match to £80 because that is what you would be doing id you purchased them.

Assos Quality
These are really odd looking - but they seem to do the job well. The sizing is a bit snug - I have size 46 feet so selected size II (the largest) but find them a struggle to get on and off. I think this is probably due to material, which does not feel that strong, but I haven't ripped or split them yet....Thankfully, as they are not cheap! I think they are designed to be that tight.
However, once they are on they work well. I find them better than a heavy neoprene overshoe, that make my feet sweat. These with a pair of thick socks works down to around 3 degrees C for me. They are waterproof, but as with all overshoes, they eventually let the rain in.

Keep the feet dry without bulk
These rain overshoes by Assos are expensive but like most of their gear, do the job with 'quiet efficiency'. Like most rain booties they are difficult to put on but unlike most others they are not made from Neoprene like material which tends to be bulky & overheat your feet. Instead they are a thin hi sheen plastic material which seems almost too flimsy to stretch over your shoes/cleats. But, having used them regularly for around 12 months now I can attest to their toughness & suitability for the task of keeping the feet dry in the worst conditions.

looks good but not very durable
These look really cool and keep shoes/feet warm and dry but they have ripped pretty easily and after not many uses which is disappointing.

(mostly) goodbye wet feet
Assos, its not cheap but it looks good, it lasts and it works. I've tried quite a few pairs of overshoes and none of them have kept my feet dry when the rain is persistent. These beauties keep the wind out and perform better than most when it comes to keeping dry but I have yet to find an overshoe that can keep all the rain out.

Does not keep feet dry
I was very hopeful when i purchased these booties. Especially for the money they cost. The first thing I can say about these booties is putting them on is not hard but if you are not careful I can imagine they would tear quite easily. I've worn them a few times now and they seem to get very close to tearing on my shoe buckles.
The real issue with these booties is a design flaw with the fabric at the points of contact with the cleats and heal. Its at these points that assos appears to have used a different fabric. Its a fabric that might not be waterproof. Behind this fabric - on my shoes - I have breathable shoe fabric and that's where all the water comes in This leaves me with wet feet after cycling in the rain for less than 10 minutes. That's all I think that needs to be said. They have not kept my feet dry and my wet cycling shoes show it. That's not what I would have expected from Assos. Additionally they look pretty bad with the patent leather colouring so you can't win if it rains and you look silly if it doesnt.
What I will try to improve the performance of the booties is to tape up the breathable fabric behind the assos fabric which leaks and see if that helps.

Water down under
The material on this rain bootie is quite amazing - Shiny yet stretchable surface and is quite durable !! I put this on my Sidi Ergo 2 Vernice and had a good ride over wet road, climbing over 800m and descent. No water leaked in from top or bottom.
On another ride where the road is still wet, I was riding on flat surface and it started raining. After 20km of riding, the water starts to sink in through the bottom and it got wet pretty quickly. Still trying to figure out exactly where it came in....
Overall, a good pair of rainbootie as it offers comfort and the looks !!
